You Know You're a LSLS When...

10.  You just read LSLS as "lissels" and not "L-S-L-S."

9.  You (finally) realize the importance of speech acoustics; and actually find it fun and exciting to apply it!

8.  You are in awe of Beebe, Pollack and Ling for being so ahead of their time.

7.  You are diligent about obtaining and tracking LSLS CEUs because the possibility of your credentials expiring and having to retake the exam is unthinkable!

6.  You are actually thrilled when a parent tells you about their child swearing or repeating private information they've obviously overheard.

5.  You have a strong impulse to track your own toddler's language on the CASLLS.

4.  All of your reusable shopping bags and pens advertise cochlear implant and hearing aid manufacturers, Oral Deaf Ed, and AG Bell.

3.  Your well-intentioned friends and family members send you links to every cochlear implant activation video on the Web.

2.  Just perusing the toy aisle begins a major brainstorm of how each toy could elicit listening and spoken language.

1.  You get to witness, first-hand, the amazing impact of early detection, early intervention, advancing technology and motivated parents!
